    Netgear P9000 or ASUS RT-AC86U

    Thanks for all the feedback. I just want to give you a short feedback regarding the VPN speed in this router. I upgraded my internet speed via the ISP to 1 GB/s (up and down). After this I made a few more tests during the day. Looks like the VPN client speed is not getting faster than about...

    Two-Way IPS: Exploit Remote Command Execution, Netcore Router Backdoor Access

    Got the same error, checked my settings, and found out that the Remote Access WebAccess from WAN was enabled by default! :-O Check your settings "Administration -> System -> Remote Access Config -> Enable Web Access from WAN" and change this to OFF!!

    Netgear P9000 or ASUS RT-AC86U

    Thanks for the answer. I bought the RT-AC86U today. (Anyway, the version I bought is called RT-AC2900, but it is the same router.) The VPN Speeds are awesome. When performing a regular speedtest without VPN, I'm receiving about 255 Mbits/s / 102 Mbit/s, which is fine because I have a 250/100...

    Netgear P9000 or ASUS RT-AC86U

    Hi, Anyone knows about the CPU performance difference between the folowing two routers? Netgear P9000 (Nighthawk X10 - AD7200 Smart WiFi Router) => CPU: Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-514 (1.7 GHz, 4 cores) Asus RT-AC86U = CPU: Broadcom BCM4906 (1.8 GHz, 2 cores) How so they perform when it comes...

    Poor VPN speed when using Asus OpenVPN Client

    Just tested it again. Can't confirm the speed's you are writing above. With PIA I'm getting not mor than max. 45 Mbit/s in both directions with the same settings as you describe. Testing AirVPN I'm getting nearly 50 Mbit/s. Anway, still far away from the speed I'm used to with the WRT1900ACSv2...

    Poor VPN speed when using Asus OpenVPN Client

    Interesting when comparing prices and release dates of those two routers here in Sweden. RT-AC88U - Release date 2015-12-17. Price today: ca. 360 Euro. RT-AC86U - Release date 2017-09-07. Price today: ca. 290 Euro. It's really a shame that the RT-AC88U is missing this hardware-accelerated...

    Tutorial How to Setup a VPN client including Policy Rules for PIA and other VPN providers 384.5 07.10.18

    Just wanted to add a link to another VPN post I wrote, and where OpenVPN in Asus routers, are discussed. Since I was using PIA as well in this test, I thought it's interesting for all reading this post to get the input from this thread as well.

    Poor VPN speed when using Asus OpenVPN Client

    Just because it was requested, below the results from the "top" command, while using the OpenVPN client in both routers. Using PIA with the same settings. Copied during the 4th / 5th speedtest run on each device. ASUS RT-AC88U - Firmware: Merlin 382.1_2 Speed Downlink 42 Mbit/s Speed Uplink 40...

    Poor VPN speed when using Asus OpenVPN Client

    Thanks RMerlin. That would explain the differences in OpenVPN speed when comparing those two routers.

    Poor VPN speed when using Asus OpenVPN Client

    Well, I will try to do some more in-detail "top" result comparison tomorrow. Anyway, I was thinking about the software which is on the two routers. Both are build on Linux. When checking the Asus router, the linux kernel version on this is: Linux RT-AC88U-7998 2.6.36.4brcmarm #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat...

    Poor VPN speed when using Asus OpenVPN Client

    Well, was running top and htop on the ASUS router while doing a speedtest. You are right, the ASUS is only using one core. Total CPU usage goes never over 49%. Don't have the Linksys connected to my network now, but can make similar tests once again later with the Linksys router. Anyway...

    Poor VPN speed when using Asus OpenVPN Client

    Hi, I made a comparison of a couple of VPN providers in connection to internet speed, when configuring an Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 router with DD-WRT firmware inside. Using the DD-WRT OpenVPN client function to have the router encrypting all traffic directly. You can read about the review in this...

    Router disconnects from wan randomly

    I'm having the same problem. Don't really know why. All devices are loosing internet connection for a few seconds from time to time. This ca. since firmware 380.60. I'm not really sure. The logs in the router shows nothing. No WAN disconnects, but all connected devices, no matter whether LAN och...

    Gathering the community together - to IRC

    Good idea with a IRC channel for this forum. I would also prefer freenode since I'm using this already chatting in another channel. /Geraner

    I have the same problem. Happend before in one earlier firmware upgrade, that it was not longer possible to load the traffic stats fil. Only solution in the past was to restet and create a new data file for loging the stats. Total traffic consumed is sill shown. But when checking traffic...

    Asuswrt-Merlin 3.0.0.4.270.24 BETA 4 is out

    Yes. I also deleted the old logfiles, and makes the checkbox to create a new one. But the result was the same. See this error mesage in the log and when going to the traffic manager, only the general data is shown. Real time, daily and monthly for the whole network. When selecting to show this...

    Review RT-AC66U vs RT-N66U

    Well, I actually never experienced any heating issues with my RT-N66U. Of course the router got a bit wormer than my old D-Link router. But not so hot that I would burn my fingers when putting them on the router. The same for the RT-AC66U. Yes, the router is a bit warmer than the old D-Link...
